Atwood water heater

2006 Winnebago Journey 36G. Is it possible to remove the heater without accessing the backside? To change the electric element one has to crawl under and remove access panel. It would be easier if there is enough slack in hoses and wiring to take it out. Anybody done it?

Our Horizon also had the motor-aide option which adds another 2 lines on the backside. It's a PITA to change the electric element but it can be done in place.

I learned the answer - only access from back side to replace electric element.

I learned the answer and NO it can't be removed. Replacing element is done from the back - not too handy.
